Hillary Clinton’s book comes out today. “Hard Choices” may be a prequel to her announcement of a run for president – or perhaps her last publication before permanently retiring into her private life.

She sits with journalists as they ask her the hard questions and she never seems to blink. Diane Sawyer pushed and pushed Hillary on the Benghazi incident. Clinton remained steadfast in her answers, reminding Sawyer that a secretary of state is not an expert on security – that is why advisors are consulted.

While some people trash talk Hillary, others see her as the only obvious candidate for 2016. She claims she will make her decision at the end of the year – giving up the privacy she loves for another round of public service? Hard choices indeed.
